NBL 2024-25

@Bovidae I reckon we are a strong chance based on what I’ve seen from both teams. We have the athleticism but they do play with high pace. The QF against Canada provided a good blueprint to how we could beat them.

OUCH.

Just finished watching the game, well most of it anyway. USA were on fire. Their ball pressure was elite and we committed turnover after turnover. USA coach had the luxury of bringing on fresh players to keep that pressure on.

One positive, our 7 footer Halaifonua looked the part from an offensive standpoint. He got very limited opportunity at Georgetown this year as a freshman, so hoping his coaches will see the value he bought to this tourney and get him more game time.
